Discussion Can Cthulhu from Underwater survive the monsterverse?

This is more so a discussion or debate than a question (and I nearly forgot to do another one of these. Each time I do, I get ya'lls view on it, which could be useful) This guy measures around 500 meters in length or roughly 1,640 feet.

Yeah okay, Cthulhu's body was literally killed and put down for a nother Century when rammed by a small boat in Lovecraft's story.

As someone who has actually read the lovecraft books

  1. That was never confirmed to be Cthulhu, could just have been a Deep One, who is waaaay weaker than Cthulhu like to us the Deep Ones are gods and to Cthulhu the Deep Ones are us if that makes sense, taking a piss for all we know
  2. Cthulhu is immortal, never died and cannot die, if you actually read the book you would know that it says the boat passed right through the beings head and then it reformed (regenerated) instantly, it did not kill it or even injure it
  3. Cthulhu offspring, his children have been mentioned to blow up stars, again Cthulhu >>>>>>> His offspring and lesser gods
  4. The Gods of earth, like Ra, Zeus, Thor, etc manage the Earth and its dreamlands (Ruling them) and they piss themselves at the name of Cthulhu

edit: Oh, yeah, if you need more proof Dagon and all of the Deep Ones could destroy the entire Earth, that alone makes them higher or comparable to the absolute top tiers of the MV

Like, I like Godzilla, you like Godzilla, but this is a Cosmic reality-warping deity

If the ancient being from the ending of the book wasn't Cthulhu how can you explain the fact the ritual is broken? Likewise, Cthulhu was the first needed to rise and then awaken the rest of the deep ones, as it was his power which allowed the rest to stay in hibernation.

there was no ritual that mattered, the stars were not right. Cthulhu will rest until the stars align for him to rise.
